Voyeur Secretly Filmed 15 Year-Old Girl In Shower

Hammersmith Magistrates' Court

A child porn voyeur, who secretly
filmed a fifteen year-old girl showering at his home, where she and
her mother were regular guests, was exposed after a sudden raid by
Scotland Yard's Paedophile Unit.John Cleur, 41, of Capel Road,
Forest Gate also kept recordings of the girl's mother, which he made
using a camera hidden inside a spectacles case placed on the edge of
the bathroom sink.Officers made off with
incriminating computer files and seized more material when they
searched his mother's home in Mortlake Road, Ilford.Cleur pleaded guilty at
Hammersmith Magistrates' Court to three counts of voyeurism in that
he took sexual gratification from recording a person doing a private
act on dates between July 21, 2011 and March 22, 2012.He also pleaded guilty to two
counts of making an indecent image of a child and one count of
posseesing 49 indecent images of a child.Cleur was placed on probation for
two years and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.He must also sign the sex
offenders register for five years and an indefinite Sexual Offences
Prevention Order was made, which controls his internet use.The court heard computer
equipment, including a tower and USB sticks were seized by police and
Cleur confessed to visiting porn sites such as 'Jailbait' which
featured girls aged between 11 and 15.His favourite scenes were
voyeuristic in nature and the defendant admitted to officers this
inspired him to film his own.He agreed he received sexual
gratification from watching the teenage guest showering at his home
and also kept footage of her mother.The court heard the domestic
“fall-out must have been enormous”, particularly as Cleur's wife
was at home during the first police raid.The first-time offender was told
it was “tragic” he should find himself in court for such
offences.
